good evening. this time no one waited. just days after a chinese spy balloon was allowed to drift across the country, another unidentified object was spotted over alaska. in this case, fighter jets were scrambled to investigate and then shoot it down. president biden was asked about it not long after. do you have anything to say about the object shot down over alaska, mr. president? more on how all this played out and how the administration is handling it. what else has the administration said about this object? reporter: here s what we know, anderson. this mysterious object is the size of a small car. it was unmanned. it didn t appear to have the capability to maneuver itself within the windstream. and also according to a u.s. official, it didn t appear to have surveillance equipment on board. so those are some significant details. but we really don t know the answer to the major question here, which is who was responsible for sending this up into the sky. listen to wh
we re joined on how this played out and how the administration is handling it. what else has the administration said about this object? reporter: here s what we know, anderson. this mysterious object is the size of a small car. it was unmanned. it didn t appear to have the capability to maneuver itself within the windstream. and also according to a u.s. official, it didn t appear to have surveillance equipment on board. so those are some significant details, but we really don t know the answer to the major question here, which is who was responsible for sending this up into the sky. listen to what the nsc s john kirby said about that earlier today at the white house. we re calling this an object because that s the best description we have right now. we do not know who owns it, whether it s state-owned or corporate-owned or privately owned, we just don t know. reporter: now, what he also said significantly, anderson, is that this mysterious object was traveling at abou
instead he said something we ve started hearing a lot from defenders of the former president in the last 24 hours, deflecting from the facts, focusing on the leaks. marco rubio serves on the intelligence committee, explaining away the way the fbi classified documents as a storage argument. this is really at its core a storage argument they re making. they re arguing there are documents there. they don t deny he should have access to the documents. i don t think a fight over storage of documents is worthy of what they ve done. now senator rubio and others are focusing on apparent leaks. that doesn t seem like the kind of thing you should have in your post-presidential desk drawer. well, let s break this down. first of all, again, we really don t know. let s go back and understand that all of this information is coming from one side and one place. and that is sources with knowledge of the investigation. who are the sources with knowledge of the investigation? the fbi an
for one of the former president s attorneys, sidney powell. this video was taken the same day that a voting system there was in some way breached. cnn s drew griffin joins for more on that, but for now, it is enough to say the facts of drew s story say this was part of a larger plan to subvert the election. this isn t just about some threat that has come and gone. when it comes to election subversion, the past is never dead, as william faulkner wrote. it s not even past. worst, the signs right now point to it being prologue. shakespeare. nevada republicans have nominated an election denier for secretary of state. also in arizona and michigan, people who actually oversee the 2024 election in those states. the republican nominee in at least 21 of this year s governor rations is someone who has rejected, declined to affirm, raised doubts about, or tried to overturn the 2020 election. the former top of the ticket can t seem to quit it either. this is him on saturday. it was cor
training status of their personnel or command and control, there is a whole plethora of kinds of information pertaining to a nuclear offense or defense that could be revealed or information could be inferred by exposure of these documents. this is obviously very valuable top secret information. but what is the value of this top secret information to another country? because, you know, only a certain number of countries have nuclear capabilities. well, that s right. it is a fairly small club of nine or ten, depending on if you include north korea or not, i guess. and as i say, this goes to the very core of our nation s existence. and that is why nations pursue and acquire nuclear weapons. it s why we did. it s why russia has and china. it s why north korea has, because it gets to the very existence and how they deter foreign attacks. and so, this in turn is, as i say, the holiest of holy s of secrets. which nation strived very hard to protect and restrict access to, as we
